We are members of the Cambrian community who believe that our public schools are one of our greatest assets. We support the proposal currently before the Board of Trustees of the Cambrian School District to swap the district's property known as "Metzler C" for responsible redevelopment into single family residential use. In the current funding environment with continued declining enrollment, our schools' leaders have been forced to consider all district resources as possible sources of revenue and the fiscally responsible decision before them now is to maximize the value of the Metzler C property. Our students deserve quality educational and enrichment programs that are comparable to neighboring school districts to prepare them for the challenges and responsibilities of the 21st century. If our leaders in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. cannot ensure that equity, we are proud that our community will step up to do so.
